Paramount Plus renews 'Couples Therapy' for season 5 after 30% jump in viewership
The Paramount Plus docuseries "Couples Therapy" saw an explosive Season 4B premiere earlier this month, enough to convince Paramount to order up another season of relationship drama for couples guru Dr Orna Guralnik to unpack. "Couples Therapy" has been renewed for season 5, Paramount Plus announced on Friday. According to Showtime's internal streaming data, the premiere for the second half of Season 4 drew in 30% more viewers than the premiere for the prior season. You can catch all four seasons of "Couples Therapy" on Paramount Plus with Showtime, and new episodes premiere on Fridays. The show features renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik as she skillfully navigates therapy sessions with real-world couples, uncovering raw emotions, painful truths and transformative breakthroughs along the way. So far, season 4B has included a deaf man and his hearing partner struggling to balance sexual freedom with commitment, as well as a therapist-writer couple stuck in a cycle of sacrifice and mounting resentment. "Couples Therapy" first premiered in 2019 and has long been a critical darling. It earned the Television Critics Association (TCA) Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming in 2021 and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Award for Best Edited Non-Scripted Series in 2024. It's also received award nominations from the International Documentary Association, 2023 TCA Awards, 2025 ACE Awards, Cinema Eye Honor Awards and Critics Choice Real TV Awards. With season 5 locked in, that makes "Couples Therapy" the second-longest running series Showtime has on the air. It's beaten only by "The Chi," which debuted in 2018 and was recently renewed for its eighth season. Other Showtime series like its popular survival drama series "Yellowjackets" and spy thriller "The Agency" have also been picked up for additional seasons in recent months.

‘Couples Therapy' Renewed for Season 5 Following 30% Surge in Viewership
'Couples Therapy' has been renewed for Season 5 by Paramount+ with Showtime, TheWrap has exclusively learned. This decision comes after the documentary series saw a significant boost during its fourth season. The premiere episode for the second half of Season 4 delivered a 30% increase on cross-platform viewership compared to the premiere for the prior season. 'Couples Therapy' scored its renewal as the series is in the middle of airing its fourth season, which returned on May 23. All episodes are currently available to watch on Paramount+ with Showtime with new episodes premiering on Fridays. 'Couples Therapy' first premiered in 2019 and follows the work of Dr. Orna Guralnik. Each season jumps between three or four different couples as they participate in a 20-week therapy program. Not all parts of these sessions are shown, but the point of the series is to chronicle the deep and often messy work that therapy requires rather than presenting audiences with another overly dramatized or sanitized version of therapy. With cameras hidden behind a one-way mirror, the series gives viewers an intimate look into these couples' conflicts and their personal breakthroughs. The documentary series has long been a critical darling. In 2021, 'Couples Therapy' won the Television Critics Association (TCA) Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming, and in 2024, it won the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Award for Best Edited Non-Scripted Series. The show has also been nominated by the International Documentary Association, the Cinema Eye Honor Awards and the Critics Choice Real TV Awards. 'Couples Therapy' is produced by Edgeline Films. Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg and Eli Despres, known for their work on 'Weiner' and 'Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,' serve as the series' executive producers alongside Vinnie Malhotra. Matt Parker, Bennett Elliott and Carly Hugo produce the second installment of Season 4, which is directed by Pax Wassermann and Bennett Elliott. Paramount Global Content Distribution distributes the series. The post 'Couples Therapy' Renewed for Season 5 Following 30% Surge in Viewership | Exclusive appeared first on TheWrap.
